“Exotic” as a descriptor has been used so much by people when they ask me “what are you?” that it makes my skin crawl. I had a guy follow me two whole train car lengths asking me “what breed are you?” and me telling him to leave me alone. It’s not flattering and it’s not fun to spill out my ancestry to every Tom, Dick…

Huh, my favourite magician has always been Harry Houdidn’tgrabmyass.
They wouldn’t have kept her long enough to give birth here, just long enough to be to far along to abort.
I was a sucky flag girl in high school. Could not do a toss ever in any of the years I did flag. During football halftime shows, I would just not toss my flagpole and march off the field in my white satin mid-thigh skirt, spangled beige pantyhose that was several shades lighter than my skin tone and dread the toss…
He got ticketed for his last name.
No politeness in Quebec. That’s too Canadian
Also, La Belle Province goes to extreme lengths to legalize xenophobia hence his Arab name and his probable religion played an important factor
Sorry to be pedantic, but Rashomon is not about “the difficulty of finding the truth of some story due to different perspectives from different participants in it.” It’s about the difficulty of establishing truth because people fashion narratives (lie) in order to protect their own interests or senses of self. It’s…
Up ‘til the part about the comments on Yi’s tattered pants, I was going to give Cross the benefit of doubt, maybe it was misunderstood...
I’m in my late 30s and I had an incident in high school right before prom with a guy who seriously bullied me. I have vivid memories of standing in the hallway of my school crying while he told me that no one liked me, and that everyone was upset that I’d chosen to sit at their table at prom (we got to pick from a…
It is really common for bullies to not remember what they have done because it doesn’t mean anything to them. They were “just having fun” and weren’t the one who was traumatized. I have read several accounts of people who confronted their high school or junior high tormentors, and the people often don’t even remember…
You know it’s possible to say things and not remember saying them because you grew up your entire life being able to say those things without repercussions or thinking about how your words/actions impact others. This is commonly known as privilege.
Obviously, it’s an old map, done before those States lose their every loving mind.
I personally take offense at the fact that the “bad” part of the map’s name ends with ‘istan’ implying middle-eastern* = bad, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to name it something like “United State of Moronica” or somesuch?
Colorado, Virginia, New Mexico, and Nevada went for Clinton. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan went for Trump. This whole map is way off.
What the hell are Michigan and Wisconsin doing with the good States?
I think we are supposed to gird ourselves for the 112 theories on how Hillary did it.
I think only because of how it was used here: they go home before the challenge is over, and if they have tools in their apartment they can copy already constructed garments, work on their project, etc. All the work they do is supposed to be in the design room. It would be like working on an in-class exam at home with…
I haven’t watched Project Runway in a while. I stopped watching when that awful Gretchen won over Mondo. I remember they kicked off a designer who picked his partner because he expected him to do all the work while he just stood around. I think it’s obvious that they knew they couldn’t keep her around with so many…
